Christmas Eve...

 

Here's hoping your Christmas wishes come true... It's Christmas Eve here on Guam and time sure feels like it is just simply flying by.

Some adorable Kiichi Tsutaya anime paper doll girl accessories. These are Gatchas available recently in either 2 bento bags, 2 tissue box covers or 2 wash cloths. All are already listed in my shop! Be sure to check it out if you want to get yourself one! Below, I bought 2 adorable Venice Margaret "Dream" Can cans. One to open and inside, there are random goodies any gal would love. When I opened one, it was like opening a time capsule. Inside this one, was a bracelet, a pick comb, tissue, lipstick, and 2 hair clips. the pink ring, I thought was a bracelet, but instead it's a plastic ring to cover the rim of the can when you open it and you can use the can to hold your make up brushes or pencils and pens. Too cute! I've always seen the can opened already and just sold as a can. But to see the unopened product was really nice too!

I found this adorable light brown Red Star Humpty Santa and he's in perfect condition too. He's already listed in my shop! I also received via seamail this vintage Rushton Saint Patrick plush I believe? I figured he was because of his lucky hat and obvious green fashion. I don't collection Rushton humans, but this one a friend will adopt from me soon.

This adorable unopened baby squeak toy, I got as a commission for a customer. It's rare I am told and just glad I was able to make someone's Christmas dream come true! It's already on it's way to him. I also found these lovely vintage chenille dollies made in Japan. They are in wonderful condition too! I may add them to my shop soon!

Last, this adorable Gund Bumble bee plushy, he just needed his ears replaced. He may also end up in my shop as well. He arrived just in time for Christmas here...

I hope you all have a great one, no matter what may be going on. Just try to remember the real reason for Christmas... The kindness of giving to others is what matters.

Thank you for visiting! ~ ggsdolls

Lots to Share!!

 I posted earlier a video tutorial of how I restored a vtg Rushton Miss Mary plush. I was asked by another collector if I could do a video tutorial. So, that was my simple way of doing one. I have been busy with a few restoration commissions as of late, that I haven't had time to find other kitsch goodies. LOL But, that is okay too! I must admit I love seeing these damaged or much loved plushies get another chance to be admired and loved by their owners. I do understand, for those who want them to stay the way they are and I respect that too! As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." and that rings so true as well...

So, I wanted to share the photos I took of Miss Mary so you can see in more detail her look before and what I was able to accomplish after... The dress you see with her in the first photo was not hers and was way to long. I found a vintage pinafore and also already had a bonnet, that I was able to add a satin bow to. I did paint her hair a bit more.

She turned out lovely and was adopted by a fellow collector already before I had even finished her. I know she will go to a good home with a loving collector. That makes me content. Next, a few goodies, I was able to find prior to working on more restorations... This adorable plastic Humpty Dumpty rattle doll from the lovely TwinVinshop on Etsy. I felt so touched by the lovely postcard Kristi sent me. I truly appreciated that she was inspired by me and my shop. Thank you love!! If you get a chance visit them on Etsy!! A lot of great items too!!

Then, I also adopted a few more JellyBuns from Lepetitecherieshop again! I couldn't help it. I simply love sleepy bunnies too! Just look at how cute they all are!! Alvina even added some cute little keys with each of them and a sweet Lolli too! My favorite is the white bunny with the most adorable pink tutu!! Thank you Alvina!! I also found another Lot of vtg Finger puppets from Japan! This time I have an elephant, and raccoon to add to my bunch!! So happy with these cuties too!

A black sleepy plush puppy I washed and cleaned up for Sara. Now, she lives in Sara's room and I couldn't be more happy. She was an adorable find as well. Next, no, its not another Suiberry mini plush, but the very first one I had adopted from her back in December!! Yup, 4 months ago. She was on a slow boat to Guam, perhaps?! I'm just thrilled she arrived still, as she was the one I fell in love when Sui started creating these cuties! In the last photo, she is side by side with the other that Sui remade for me. I think I love the first bunny more! LOL

This vtg Takemi pose doll or paper doll made of vinyl is already listed in my shop. A cute find via Yahoo Japan. Unopened as well. Inside is a vinyl paper doll you can pose and redress, along with her room I believe that is also vinyl cutouts you can set up. Quite unique too! Below, my Eegee Alice!! Yup, I found her a body too! Now she is not a puppet, but a doll! What do you think? I love hybrid dolls and I am so happy she is now complete and huge!! Dress is for a 50cm doll from Japan, but fits perfectly on Alice. Now to find her some shoes... Haha!

This lovely vtg Hasada doll I found on Ebay and she arrived all the way from Greece! Quite unique, she is so long and thin. I washed her fashion and redid her hair. She kind of reminds me of Leggy dolls by Hasbro or Ashinaga Leggy by Shiba Japan! What do you think? Below, another vtg bunny plush. She is made by Dollcraft. She a lot larger then most, and has thicker eyelashes too! Already listed, so be sure to check it out!

Last two items are this lovely Wakakusa no Charlotte toy ring with case I found in Yahoo Japan, and a lovely vtg corduroy yellow plush bunny, I was able to buy via a Live Sale by vintagebulldog on IG!! I love that its jointed and poseable too! Fun! The ring reminds me of toy rings I had as a kid... ahhh the memories! Welp, back to restorations!!

Enjoy the rest of your week!
